Abstract
Sports Complex Management Using GIS Track: State and Local Government Author(s): David Yun The city of San Luis Obispo built a new sports complex to meet growing demand for playing fields. The proposed site for a new sports complex had many challenges including road and creek realignment. Existing and proposed road realignment needed new elevation information. Realigned creeks needed wetland mitigation plan that required detailed assessment of the creek and its surroundings. GIS with GPS was used to create new elevation data for road realignment, assess creek realignment; calculate wetland areas; locate more than 2,000 newly planted vegetation; and make a wetland mitigation plan map. GIS was also used to plan for field layout as well as actual lining of the fields by using survey grade GPS. Today, the sports complex is being enjoyed by the citizens of San Luis Obispo.
